Radborne Racing

[Renault 5 GT Turbo]

Anybody used to know this place?

My first Renault 5 GT Turbo, a rare J plate tungsten grey was serviced there from new. When I aquired it in 2003, the car had been sat in a garage for a few years as the one lady owner had died of polio and her husband decided to sell it. I called the number for Radborne Racing and a chap answered the phone telling me it had long gone and I was now speaking to the owner of an Italian restaurant.

Just curious as I cannot find much info on the place other then the fact they used to tune Fiats up until the early '80s.

I think they morphed into R Sport

Yep, and they want nothing to do with gt turbo's/their history. A few people I know have been down there to get info out of them for various things, and they've been given the cold shoulder :(

Correct!:agree: Radborne Racing went along time ago but did have some interesting cars in there over the years, they had a few EBS convertibles a R5 GT Turbo sport one of five which was double skinned owned by a signer, maybe wrong was a long time ago but they were my local dealer.
